<p align="center"><strong>Counseling Education Program Mission Statement</strong></p>
<p align="left">The Counselor Education Program at Eastern Washington University is committed to the selection, training, supervision, and professional success of counseling students, in keeping with the high standards established by the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).&nbsp; As a regional teaching university, EWU has a proud history of providing education to a high percentage of first generation college students, often from under-represented and lower socioeconomic communities, a tradition which the Counselor Education program maintains.&nbsp; Thus, counselor training occurs in a learning community that is intentionally focused on both skills development and personal growth of the counselor-in-training.&nbsp; In this way, Counselor Education fulfills its purpose of preparing competent and caring professional counselors to meet the needs of diverse urban and rural communities.</p>
<p align="left">Classes and experiences are organized to provide thorough instruction in the skills and knowledge generally recognized by the counseling profession to be effective with a K-12 population. Candidates not only focus on the following in the graduate classroom, but also for the K-12 population he or she will serve: academic, career, and personal/social development. The program is not only accredited by CACREP, but is approved by the Washington State Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB).&nbsp; Graduates of the program meet the requirements to become an Educational Staff Associate (ESA), the credential held by School Counselors.</p>
<p align="left">Candidates of the program will have education and experiences shaped by the ASCA (American School Counseling Association) National Model.&nbsp; They also have opportunity to be mentored by professionals in the community while they complete an internship.&nbsp; This relationship helps guide the candidate in construction of a professional portfolio, which is a product of the knowledge and skills gained through the graduate experience. Themes include leadership, advocacy, collaboration, and systemic change, which are incorporated into the components of the ASCA model.&nbsp;&nbsp; The components are foundation, management, accountability, and delivery.&nbsp; Instruction includes all of these aspects, along with the CACREP core competencies, providing graduates with a solid entry point for a rewarding career. <br /><br /></p>
